I want to play a ranger character, with bow, dual swords, and healing magic. However, I'm having a hard time with hotkeys (playing on PC here).

I understand I can equip my two swords, then hotkey my bow, and when I want to come back to dual wield I can simply remove the bow. This works great. But every time I cast a healing spell my off-hand sword is removed, an there is no way to put it back unless I stop the game to enter the favorites/inventory.

So, is there any trick to easily hotkey a bow, dual weapons, and healing spell? I can't believe you can't simply press a button and equip your dual swords for example..

Well, I can't really recommend anything else than waiting for a tweaking mod.

Yes dual wielding can be pain sometimes when you switch to healing. If there is a solution to this i would like to know too, aside from going back to items menu ofc.
